The recommended dose of progesterone is 200mg and there is no need to increase or decrease the dose. Some people may already be on a higher dose when they come to our service, but our recommendations are the standard dose of 200mg of progesterone to avoid any unwanted effects.
If you’re already on a lower dose (e.g. 100mg) this can be maintained, but you can request an increase to 200mg or stay on 100mg.
There is no need to do any blood tests for progesterone, unlike oestrogen or testosterone, as the recommended dose is static and there is no evidence that a higher dose is more beneficial.
